IE 11 (Update Version: 11.0.24) Memory Consumption Issue

Question

After installing windows update, my IE version updated to 11.0.9600.18059 (Update Version: 11.0.24), and I found that its consuming too much memory, when I open 3-4 tabs and surfing 10-15 mins, memory raise up to 1300-1500 MB and I have to restart it.

So is there any solution or patch available for this?

If you're a developer landing here because your page is blowing up since the IE build on October 13th. Try adding this attribute to your HTML body tag like so: <body spellcheck='false'></body>

@RushayTrivedi Did manually disabling the option (Lam's answer above) help? – Ethan Green Oct 28 '15 at 21:30

I can't thank you enough for this fix! I have spent two days investigating this issue! – NoRyb Dec 07 '15 at 12:58

This is likely a problem with their spellchecker. If you disable the spellchecker it's likely you won't encounter this problem anymore with the October update.

To disable it:

Click on Tools (or the Gear) -> Manage add-Ons
Click on Spelling Correction on the left under Add-on Types
Uncheck Enable spelling correction at the bottom
Hit Close and then restart your browser

Hi Lam, I have gone through your steps but didn't find "spelling correction" Add-on, can you please share screen shot? – Rushay Trivedi Oct 22 '15 at 10:12
Yes, I also confirm that disabling spellchecker solved the high memory usage in our case too. – Ishan Liyanage Nov 16 '15 at 08:12

After many tried and error when I uninstall last windows update (Which is released on 13 Oct, 2015), my IE update version revert to 11.0.23 and issue has been resolved.

KB3160005 seems to have fixed the memory leak we started experiencing with KB3093983.

We do use iframes, so it may have been this part of the update that did the trick... 3168674 Storage event isn't triggered for localStorage updates in an iFrame in Internet Explorer 11
